Excellent mythical match ups from first one. Tough fights there!

Bread truly is the most objective writer when it comes to mailbags. Any fans who come on here and cry about how he allegedly hates on their favorite fighter are just sensitive fan boys who don't know how to accept the good with the bad. It actually should be the criteria for determining a fan boy = if breads mailbag hurts your feelings and makes you go on an angry rant in the comments section in defense of your fave, you're a fan boy.

I don’t think Crawford vs Spence will happen either. At least not before 2021. Businesswise it wouldn’t make sense for PBC to make Spence vs Crawford when Spence has not fought Pacquiao, Thurman or DSG yet at 147 and not challenged himself at 154 yet. There is a lot of work in PBC for Spence. At least 5 PPV fights for Spence in PBC.

In the business world and boxing world history has shown us that this fight doesn’t happen until Spence is ready for it to happen. I don’t have a horse in the race but Spence has the deck of cards in his hands. He’s younger and he has more opportunities. Crawford’s best opponent so far has been Victor Postol who is an excellent fighter but not close to being a big name. Crawford has been a pro for over 10 years and he’s 32 yrs old. His talents should be on big PPV events and they aren’t.

That's why it's silly when Crawford suggests he's doesn't need Spence or that he's the A-side. He's negotiating himself out of the fight before the negotiations begin.

When guys at the tail end of their careers didn't fight GGG:

Bread: "They all ducked GGG."

When GGG, at the tail end of his career doesn't fight Andrade, Charlo, and Saunders.

Bread: long tirade of pathetic excuses.

Most objective doe huh?

top ten p4p is subjective but I can't see Wilder and Fury in my top 10 - no frickin way. Lets make Fury and Wilder welterweights. As good as mover Fury is at HW he is no way near the boxer that Crawford is, or even Spence. So he's get out boxed at WW. If Fury can make Wilder swing and miss (nearly) all night long then I am damn sure that Bud and Spence can do that, even Thurman could make a welterweight Wilder miss all night long.

Lets bring Gary Russell up to WW. Lets make him move 10% slower. There is no way a ww version of Wilder gets anywhere near a ww version of Gary Russell.

Not a bad P4P list but I’m sorry Fury and Wilder have to many flaws to be in the top 10.

I was waiting for Bread to talk about PEDS, skimming through the article... I was thinking, “lol Bread got the point!”

Then sure enough Bread protects himself with this make believe questions from fake fans:

Bread’s Response: All fighters will have their detractors. So hate is expected. But I don’t hate on Canelo. I think he’s awesome and I was one of the few people who said he shouldn’t avoid GGG, that he had a chance with him.

But Canelo’s fans get upset when anyone questions anything about their champion. Canelo is biggest star to ever test positive for PEDS in their prime. And just because people don’t believe his story about meat contamination, Canelo backers get offended. I don’t understand that. Believing a story is a subjective preference. I can’t remember one athlete ever saying after testing positive “ Yes I knew I was cheating.”

Miller? Mosley? Berto? Devon Alexander?

Bread will get his! Seen how Karma works in boxing.

what grown up uses "doe" in sentence? Anyway,
So the following sounds like a tirade of pathetic excuses? "However, I’m going to hold GGG to high standard. He’s a top 10 P4P guy. I know he’s been ducked but there are big tough fights available. I think he needs to go after a GUN in his next fight."
